Subject: [PyVault-users] Unable to satisfy dependencies -> python24-yum
Message-ID: <43C66C78.8080602@chello.at>

Hi,

I have the following problem, perhaps someone can help me :-)
I've read of the major bug in yum 2.4.1 and I wanted to update to yum
2.4.2.
here the output of yum 2.4.1

[---------------]# yum update yum.i386

Error: Unable to satisfy dependencies
Error: Package python24-yum needs yum = 2.4.0, this is not available.

of should I just download the rpm of 2.4.2 and make a force update ?
thanks in advance for your help

greetings TrabiGo

Can you try "upgrade" or maybe the --obsoletes option? What's
happening is that pyvault has split the package into 2 sub-packages,
but you have an update to yum that combines them back into one. My
hope was that the depsolving would cause python24-yum to uninstall
given this scenario. But, it may look like it won't do it. Another
alternative is to see if smart can resolve this scenario.

To resolve by hand, you would need to remove yum && python24-yum, then
install the yum update.
